That would be 30 calendar years total experience in computers and communications, 20+ in IT architecture and planning, and about 17+ in the Federal market. That is paid experience, excluding my childhood hobby of electronics: I received the issue of Popular Electronics showing the circuits for the IMSAI 8080 in 1974. I built my first radio at age 12. Essentialy, this technology stuff has been my entire adult life.
